French Lessons with a University of Sheffield Educator for All Levels

They reviewed the use of the auxiliary verb 'être', the correct order of reflexive pronouns, and the agreement of past participles.

For homework, the Student will translate more sentences into French and continue practicing reflexive verb conjugations.

The Student and Tutor practiced conjugating French sentences into the Passé Composé, focusing on auxiliary verb selection, irregular past participles, and negative constructions. They also discussed the nuances of similar verbs like 'rencontrer' and 'partir'. For homework, the Student was assigned translation exercises into French, and future lessons were scheduled to cover speaking practice and reflexive verbs in the Passé Composé.

They practiced conjugating 'attendre', 'comprendre', and 'prendre', and worked on sentence translation exercises focusing on proper verb usage, possessive adjectives, and gender agreement. Homework was assigned to learn verb conjugations and pronouns, and to complete translations using the verb 'mettre'.
